It’s the exciting news The Essence Music Festival was supposed to share, not Idris Elba. Nonetheless, the big screen’s sex symbol announced on social media – and then deleted – that Janet Jackson will return to the stage as a headliner for the magazine’s annual 4th of July gathering in New Orleans. That’s in addition to (reportedly) Mary J. Blige, Fantasia, Xscape, The Roots featuring Erykah Badu and Jill Scott.

Tiffany Haddish didn’t receive an Oscar nomination for her breakthrough role in 2017 summer hit “Girls Trip,” but she still managed to be THE talk of the Oscar nominations announcement. “She got A LOT of criticism because she was butchering [nominees’] names,” Ryan Cameron said in today’s Ryan Report. “Baby she did the best she could,” Wanda Smith quipped. “I blame her team,” Ryan continued. “Yeah Tiffany Haddish is winning but whoever her team is …you got to have a team!”

This almost sounds like the start of a joke but Mo’Nique isn’t cracking a smile – not even one of her signature “Shu-gahs.”But here goes: When is a business offering you a half-million dollar deal a bad thing? When that same business is offering your peers MULTImillion-dollar deals.

It's impossible to grow & learn anything new if a person is full of pride, is unteachable, and thinks they know it all. We all know someone with a PhD in foolishness and drama ( duel major ) !#yachtdreams

Advanced terms

Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.

AND

Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Musk AND Zuckerberg or Musk + Zuckerberg.

OR

Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used). For example, results will contain either cake or cookie by searching cake OR cookie or cake,cookie

NOT

Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
NOT World.

Phrases

When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
4s".

Exact case matching or punctuation

If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .

Combining operators

Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.

Asterisk

An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.

Near

A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".
